INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES WITH P.S. LITERARY AGENCY

P.S. Literary Agency (PSLA) is accepting applications for two interns to assist the team for four months this fall (Sept to Dec). The two positions—Digital and Social Media Intern and Editorial Intern—should want to gain experience at an agency, have a flexible schedule, be able to devote 20 hours a week, and be comfortable working remotely, but be based in the Toronto area.

Overall, PSLA is looking for applicants that have some publishing experience, a passion for books, sharp eye for detail, a desire to learn how the industry and how agenting works, and basic critical reading, researching and organizational skills.

The internships are unpaid, but PSLA will happily provide career guidance, publishing industry advice, and, if successful, a glowing letter of reference. Our former intern is a graduate of the Humber college publishing program and is now our Agency Assistant.

Digital and Social Media Intern

Duties:

Managing agency Twitter and Pinterest pages

Consulting authors on best social media, online marketing, and online brand presence practices
